Hitler’s Commanders Mocked the U.S. — Until Reality Hit Them

Описание: August 27–28, 1944. Western France.
German generals believed the U.S. Army was slow, inexperienced, and incapable of rapid offensive operations. Within just 48 hours, the American 4th Armored Division shattered two elite German formations — the Panzer-Lehr and 2nd Panzer Divisions — that were expected to stop the Allied breakout after Normandy.

This documentary episode examines real German reports, battlefield communications, and eyewitness accounts, showing the moment the Wehrmacht realized they had severely underestimated American mobility, tactics, and logistical mastery.

From fast-moving Shermans and mechanized infantry to supply columns that kept the advance unstoppable, this is the true story of how Americans outpaced, outmaneuvered, and outsmarted Germany’s elite troops — proving speed, discipline, and initiative could change the course of the war.
